Maddon Talks Molina, Looking Beneath Statistics

2 years ago

Rays Manager Joe Maddon joined the Big Dog for the first of his weekly interviews Tuesday, and he quickly addressed fans concerns about the catcher's offensive output, or perceived lack thereof.

"Everyone wants to focus on his hitting," Maddon told the Big Dog. "Whatever we get there is absolutely gravy. He did another wonderful job with David [Price], and that goes untalked about or unnoticed enough."

The Tampa Bay skipper also talked about carrying over the winning feeling garnered in spring into the regular season, and how many teams he think Alex Cobb could have started on Opening Day for.
